The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.
Power & Run Time
The DuroMax XP7000iH
The DuroMax XP7000iH, equipped with dual-fuel technology and delivering 120/240V, ensures both power and versatility. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 5,500W and a starting wattage of 7,000W. On propane, it provides 5,225 running watts and 6,650 starting watts. In addition, the device is parallel capable (parallel kit not included) and thus, can be linked to a similar or compatible unit for added power.
DuroMax’s Switch On Demand technology allows you to switch from propane to gasoline or from gasoline to propane while the generator is running.
At a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music), this inverter generator provides the choice between a manual recoil starter system or a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included) for starting. Moreover, the XP7000iH boasts remote starting functionality, adding another layer of convenience (key fob included).
Concerning its running time, the XP7000iH, featuring a 3 gallons fuel tank, can continuously run for up to 16 hours with a full gasoline tank (consuming fuel at approximately 0.19 gallons per hour). Alternatively, when utilizing propane, it offers up to 13 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.36 GPH) of runtime.
Delicate electronics can be plugged in the AC outlets safely, as the XP7000iH generates a clean sine wave, reaching a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Outlets
The control panel provides the upcoming 3 AC outlets:
The XP7000iH's twist-lock L14-30R receptacle makes it transfer switch ready, enabling hassle-free connection to your breaker box for powering your home during outages.
Portability
Thanks to its closed inverter generator design (L25.1 x W19.4 x H21.4 in), the DuroMax XP7000iH not only offers superior aesthetics but also operates with reduced noise levels compared to a typical, open frame generator. This modern design aims to provide an ideal power solution to recreational users.
Despite its weight of 128 lbs, the generator is still considered 'portable,' meaning it is movable, although its heftiness may restrict portability in certain environments or require additional considerations for transportation and setup. However, the constrained maneuverability is addressed with the assistance of its set of 2 wheels (⌀7") and its telescopic handle, allowing for easy shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.
Features
The XP7000iH's control panel
The XP7000iH's control panel is equipped with a digital data center, furnishing detailed information on the power output, fuel level, voltage, lifetime run hours and frequency for you to easily track its activity and status.
In addition to this info, several light indicators serve to show you when the oil level is too low, the generator is on overload and the generator is ready.
As far as security is concerned, the generator comes with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, providing peace of mind during use.
The XP7000iH also benefits from DuroMax’s CO Alert carbon monoxide shutdown. If CO levels become unsafe or rapidly increase, the generator will automatically shut down, an indicator will light red, and the engine will not restart for 5 minutes.
With the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start the generator quickly, the DuroMax XP7000iH also comes with several accessories, including: key fob, propane hose, funnel, tool kit and battery charger.
Product Videos
The DuroMax XP7000iH versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP7000iH compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 5000 and 6000 W).
- Since the generator weighs in at a dry weight of 128 lbs, the DuroMax XP7000iH belongs in the expected weight range for inverters which can produce between 5000 and 6000 rated watts. If you are concerned by weight, one of the champions in the above-mentioned power range is the Pulsar PGX60BiSRCO, with a dry weight of just 93.5 pounds.
- As its lowest possible noise is rated at 62 dBA, this inverter generator qualifies as one of the more quiet of the products of similar type and power. For those who are looking for a less noisy device, we suggest the Honda EU7000iS. With just 52 dBA, it is one of the most quiet devices in this power range.
- At 25% load, the XP7000iH boasts a higher run time than most similarly powerful inverters, reaching up to 16 hours. If autonomy is your priority, one of the devices of a similar power output with the highest run time is the Champion 201532, reaching up to 18 hours.
- Autonomy holds its importance, however, it is largely dependent on the generator’s fuel capacity and so, it is nonsensible to discuss it without mentioning fuel efficiency as well. This inverter generator has one of the best fuel efficiency when compared to other units in the aforementioned output range, consuming approximately 0.19 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 5000-6000W dual fuel inverter generators, the DuroMax XP7000iH is on the expensive side of the price range.
While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it would most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
